Seems like raspberry pis, and other ARMs dev boards are
getting popular.
A common thing between all of them, is that they boot off an
SD card.
This is not a bad idea. Why can't we standardise that?
After all, if we can just grab a random ubuntu copy for x86

do the same for ARM devices.

It's there in my emu, pretty sure not implented in
any factorh firmware due to the potential security
hazards. The SD card, USB and SIM are all on the
same Bus so far as I understand it. |
